Enhancement of low-mt kaons in AGS heavy-ion collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
In the relativistic transport model, we show that the recently observed enhancement of low-mt kaons (K + and K) in Si+Pb collisions at AGS can be explained if a density isomer is introduced in the nuclear equation-of-state. Typeset using REVTEX

Strangeness and Antibaryon Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions
We review the experimental results on strangeness and antibaryon production in heavy-ion collisions at the AGS and SPS. We argue that the observed enhancement in kaon production at the AGS is consistent with hadronic description, while the multistrange baryon and antibaryon results at the SPS may need physics beyond hadronic nature. We call the need for measurements of low energy antilambda-pro...
متن کاملSUNY-NTG 94-26 Cold Kaons from Hot Fireballs
The E814-collaboration has found a component of very low mt K + mesons with a slope parameter of T ∼ 15MeV. We will present a scenario which explains the observed slope parameter and which allows us to predict the expected slope parameter for kaons produced in heavier systems such as Au+Au. Implications for the restoration of chiral symmetry in relativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed.
متن کاملKaon dispersion relation and flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Within the framework of a relativistic transport model (ART) for heavy-ion collisions at AGS energies, we examine the effects of kaon dispersion relation on the transverse flow of kaons and their transverse momentum and azimuthal angle distributions. We find that the transverse flow is the most sensitive observable for studying the kaon dispersion relation in dense medium.
متن کاملRescattering of Vector Meson Daughters in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions
We consider the role of hadronic rescattering of daughter kaons on the observed mass spectra from φ meson decays in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. A hadronic cascade code (RQMD v2.4) shows that ∼17% of all φ’s decaying to KK have a rescattered daughter. This significantly affects the reconstructed invariant mass of the pair and shifts the reconstructed φ mesons out of the mass peak. K...
متن کاملTransverse mass spectra in Heavy Ion Collisions from AGS to RHIC
Transverse mass spectra of hadrons are presently in the center of interest of the experimental study of relativistic heavy ion collisions. The significant suppression of high transverse momentum hadrons in Au+Au collisions compared to pp observed at RHIC energies [1] is often attributed to the energy loss of highly energetic particles in a hot colored medium (QGP) [2]. On the other hand, the me...
